Zhao Ci surveyed the secret chamber, his heart filled with unease.
He had no idea what trick Gu Xiangzhu was trying to pull.
But since she had gone to such great lengths to explain herself, he figured he was safe for the time being. If she wanted to kill him, she would have done it already. There was no need to bring him to a secret chamber first. With that thought, he relaxed and followed her.
The passageway to the chamber was long, narrow, and dimly lit, making Gu Xiangzhu's figure appear somewhat blurry from behind.
But that did nothing to diminish her visual impact.
Tall and graceful.
Although she had changed back into her palace attire, the image of her in a half-undone blouse was still seared into Zhao Ci's mind.
Damn!
'How do I delete this image from my brain?'
'This woman is too damn cunning, using her allure to test my instincts.'
'What man could possibly resist a body like that?'
